Joy in the Journey

One of the messages from Undergraduate Education is finding joy in the journey.
You've probably heard this a million times and inevitably associate it with this:

While this may be one of the most quoted talks of all time, there is good reason for it. One of my favorite quotes is:

"I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now."

Senior year is very, very busy. I get that, I've been there. (It only gets busier, I promise). You may be jumping and ready to come to BYU, having full on Senioritis and ready for summer to arrive. But remember where you are right now! What lessons can you learn now? How can you be happy now? How can you keep your priorities now?

We don't need to be happy all the time, everyday, but we can be joyful.
